Rep. Peter King made clear Thursday that he was not pleased with the fact that New York wasn’t informed of the Boston bombers’ plot to visit the state right away.

”As to whether or not the attack was going to happen, New York is always the number one terrorist target,” the Republican representing the state’s 2nd Congressional district told CNN. “Every analysis I’ve seen no matter who puts it together, unfortunately New York and Long Island and Northern New Jersey are the number one terrorist targets in the country.”

“I just wish [the FBI] had notified the city immediately rather than waiting until last night,” he added. “Even though this may or may not have been spontaneous for all we know there could be other conspirators out there and the city should have been alerted so it can go into its defensive mode.”

The congressman struck a vastly different tone from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who didn’t indicate any dissatisfaction with how the situation was handled in a press conference Thursday. Kelly said New York and Boston departments were interacting well and exchanging necessary information.

“This is the Boston Police Department, Watertown Police Department, Boston branch of the FBI,” Bloomberg said. “They’re the ones in charge, and we have great confidence in their abilities.”

King was also adamant that it might be too early to relax, as he speculates the brothers might not have worked alone.

”I believe that we are going to find out that there could well have been others involved domestically. I just find it very hard to believe that two individuals such as this could have obtained the weapons, the explosives, put it all together, arranged this on their own,” King said. “Either it was active conspirators or facilitators, who knew what was going on and said nothing and looked the other way.”
